How Retirees Are Redefining What It Means to Thrive After 55
A New Kind of Retirement Starts Here
Retirement isn’t what it used to be, and thank goodness for that. At Del Webb Sunbridge, a 55+ active adult community in St. Cloud, Florida, life after work doesn’t mean winding down. It means waking up with purpose, movement, and joy.
Imagine trading lawn care and endless errands for sunrise yoga, wine tastings, book clubs, and spontaneous beach trips. That’s the rhythm of life at Del Webb Sunbridge, where neighbors feel like lifelong friends, and every day brings something new to explore.
Located just outside Lake Nona and minutes from Orlando, this vibrant community is part of the 24,000-acre Sunbridge master plan. With world-class amenities, thoughtfully designed homes, and a full-time lifestyle director curating weekly events, it’s redefining what it means to live well and live fully after the age of 55.

Redefining “Active Adult” Living
At Del Webb Sunbridge, “active” doesn’t just mean exercise. It means living with energy, staying curious, and feeling connected to nature, to your neighbors, and to yourself.
Whether you’re an early riser who loves hitting the trails or a social butterfly who thrives on group events, this community offers something for every kind of lifestyle.
What makes it different?
